Runs in the browser · Windows, Mac, Linux
The party jukebox in your browser. Test it free for three hours.
Juqed Web turns your laptop into the sound system. Guests request songs from their own phones and vote, the Auto DJ fills every gap. It plays from Apple Music, from your own music folders or from both.
Test Juqed Web free for three hours. You need no payment details for the test. Every feature and all five Auto DJ modes are included. You sign in with just your email address, no password needed.
You need: an Apple Music subscription or your own music files on the computer.
- Nothing to install, for you or your guests
- No shared Wi-Fi needed
Use the full potential of every Auto DJ feature in Juqed Web.
When nobody is requesting, Juqed Web keeps playing by itself. You choose how: five modes, switchable even in the middle of the event. If you have shared your own folders, it draws on them too.
- What has played tonightIt adds what has gone down well tonight. The longer the party runs, the more accurate it gets.
- GenreYou set the direction, say rock or charts, and it stays there.
- Your Apple Music playlistsYour own playlists as a pool, freshly shuffled every time.
- Curated collectionsReady-made playlists for every occasion, from weddings to wine bars.
- DJ modeMore than a gap filler: it reads the mood of the party and plays like a real DJ, with fitting transitions and style mixes. It also orders your guests' requests by mood.
What is Juqed Web?
Juqed Web is a jukebox that runs entirely in the browser. You create an event on web.juqed.com and share a link or a QR code. Your guests open it on their own phones, search the Apple Music catalogue, add songs to the playlist and vote on what everyone else requested. Whatever has the most votes plays next – played through your own Apple Music account, right in your browser window.
There is nothing to install, neither for you nor for your guests. There is no rig to build and no extra device to connect. The computer you are sitting at is the sound system.
No download
Juqed Web is a website, not software. Open the address, sign in, start – on Windows, macOS or Linux.
No account for guests
Your guests download nothing, register nowhere and hand over no details. They type in a name and they are in.
No shared Wi-Fi
Everything runs over the internet. Whether your guests are on Wi-Fi or using mobile data makes no difference. Juqed Web on Windows, Linux and the Mac.
The full catalogue, and yours
Requests come from the entire Apple Music catalogue – around 100 million tracks, not one playlist prepared in advance. Plus, if you like, folders from your own computer.
From an empty room to a full dance floor.
A few minutes sit between “let me try this” and the first song – no setup, no configuration, no manual.
Sign in with your email address
You get a six-digit code by email – no password needed. Your account is created along the way; there is no separate registration step.
Create an event and share it
One click gives you a six-digit event code, a QR code, a guest link and a ready-made A4 poster as a PDF to print. That is all your guests need to join in.
Start the player and pick your source
For Apple Music you sign in once in Apple's own window – we never see your Apple ID or your password. To play your own music, share folders from your computer instead. Both work side by side. After that the player plays in that tab.
Your guests take over
Requests come in, the votes sort the playlist, the Auto DJ fills the gaps. You can watch – or step in at any time.
Phone out, song in, done.
Your guests scan the QR code or type in the six-digit event code. The browser opens, they pick a name – and from then on they have a say. No download, no account, no cost.
- Search and request songs – both sources in one list
- Vote on what everyone else requested
- See live what is playing and what comes next
- Works on any smartphone, Android or iPhone
So that the loudest person in the room does not decide the music, requests that have waited a long time move up by themselves. That way the quieter guests get their turn too.
Your guests choose the music. You set the frame.
Letting everyone join in is not losing control. What may be requested, how often and what must never play – you set it, any time, even in the middle of the event.
Your library joins in.
Share folders from your computer and your guests request from them just like from Apple Music, both in one list. The files stay where they are. Without Apple Music the event then runs with no subscription at all.
Your own music in detail →
- BlocklistArtists or terms that must not play can't be requested, the Auto DJ won't play them, and they don't even show up in your guests' search. More on the blocklist
- Fair rulesA waiting time between two requests, a maximum of open requests and votes per guest, no voting for your own request. Nobody hijacks the playlist. The rules in detail
- Step in yourselfYou search the same catalogue as your guests, add songs to the playlist or play them straight away. Skip, pause, reorder. Voting and stepping in
- Explicit songsOne switch, optionally only until a set time. Block explicit content
- Smooth transitionSet how long the current song fades out at the end. No hard cut in the middle of the chorus.
- Printable posterA ready-made A4 sheet as a PDF with QR code, event code and short instructions. Invite guests
- Screen modeThe same guest page as a display for a TV, projector or second monitor. How screen mode works
- HistoryWhat has already played is in the overview, newest first. Handy when someone asks what that song from earlier was called.
Anywhere more than one person wants a say.
For the most common cases we have written down what matters – from the setup to the rules that have proven themselves.
- BirthdayEveryone requests for themselves, and your hands stay free.
- House partyNo more fighting over the aux cable. Whoever wants to hear something suggests it and collects votes.
- WeddingOld favourites for the grandparents, the nineties for the cousins, and the couple doesn't have to host anything.
- Company partyMusic where nobody feels left out and nobody has to defend their playlist.
- Club partyA poster on every table, and the blocklist keeps the family party clean.
- Bar and caféGuests have a say without approaching the staff, and the blocklist keeps to the style of the house.
- RestaurantQuiet music for dining, requests only within the frame you set.
- HotelLobby, hotel bar or garden party: your guests have a say without going to reception.
What you need to bring.
A computer that stays on – and a music source. Your guests need nothing but their phones.
A music source
For the Apple Music catalogue Juqed Web plays through your own account. Without an active, paid subscription Apple does not allow full tracks – that is Apple's rule, not a setting on our side.
Or you share folders from your own computer. Then no subscription is needed: your guests request from your library just as they would from Apple Music, and the files never leave your machine. Both work side by side.
We supply no music ourselves: Juqed Web controls playback, the content comes from Apple through your account or from your hard drive. Your guests need no subscription of their own.
A computer that stays on
Windows, macOS or Linux with an up-to-date browser – Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are proven. Your own folders need Chrome or Edge: Safari and Firefox cannot reopen a shared folder after the page reloads. The tab with the player has to stay open and the computer awake while music is playing.
A phone will do at a pinch, but it is risky: locking the screen or switching tabs often interrupts playback. For a whole event a computer is the safe choice.
And your guests?
A smartphone with an internet connection and a browser. Nothing else – no Apple Music, no app, no account, no email address.
Try it first, then decide.

Frugal, on purpose.
Your guests create no account and hand over no email address – only the name they appear under in the playlist. We show no advertising and sell nothing on. The servers are in Germany, at Hetzner Online GmbH.
If you share your own folders, the music files stay on your computer – nothing is uploaded. All that reaches us is title, artist, album, genre, year and length, so your guests can search for them; if a file carries no track details, we use its file name and the name of the folder it sits in instead. The path above that stays unknown to us, and these details are deleted with the event.
End the event and the playlist, the history and your guests' requests are gone. Delete your account and the account is gone too – confirmed by email, with no questions about why. The details are in the privacy policy.
Questions that come up the first time.
Do my guests need an app?
No. Your guests open a link in the browser on their phone – via the QR code, the guest link or the six-digit event code. They pick a name and can request songs and vote straight away. There is nothing to install and no account to create, neither with us nor with Apple.
Do I have to install anything?
No. Juqed Web runs entirely in the browser. You open web.juqed.com, sign in with your email address and create an event. There is nothing to download and nothing to set up.
Why do I need an Apple Music subscription?
Only for the Apple Music catalogue. The music then comes from your own account, and without an active, paid subscription Apple does not allow full tracks to play – that is Apple's rule, not a setting on our side. You sign in once in Apple's own window; we never see your Apple ID or your password. Share folders from your computer instead and the event runs with no subscription at all.
Can I play my own music?
Yes. On the event page, under “Your own music”, share one or more folders from your computer. Juqed reads the track details and offers what it finds to your guests right next to Apple Music – in the same list, with no visible difference. The music files themselves never leave your machine. This is the way to play everything you cannot stream anywhere: bootlegs, live recordings, remixes long out of print.
Does Juqed Web run on Windows and Linux?
Yes. Juqed Web is tied to no manufacturer and runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are proven in current versions. The browser has to allow playback of protected content – with an up-to-date browser that is the normal case. Your own folders need Chrome or Edge: Safari and Firefox cannot reopen a shared folder after the page reloads.
Does everyone have to be on the same Wi-Fi?
No. Everything runs over the internet. Your guests can be on Wi-Fi or on mobile data, mixed and changing through the event. Only your computer needs a stable connection, because that is where the music plays.
What happens when nobody is requesting anything?
Then the Auto DJ takes over and keeps playing. Where it refills from is up to you: from the event so far, by genre, from your own Apple Music playlists, from curated collections, or in DJ mode, which decides the order by mood instead of by votes. If you have shared your own folders, it reaches into those as well – and you can switch that off.
Can I block certain songs or artists?
Yes, with the blocklist. Anything listed there can neither be requested nor played by the Auto DJ, and it does not show up in your guests' search. You can change the list at any time, even mid-event.
How do I stop one person taking over the event?
With the fair-use rules: a wait between two requests, a maximum of open requests and votes per guest, no voting for your own request and no title twice in the list. On top of that, requests that have waited a long time move up by themselves, so the quieter guests get their turn too.
Does the computer have to stay on the whole time?
Yes. The music plays in the browser tab where you opened the player. Close it, or let the computer go to sleep, and the music stops. While the player is in the foreground Juqed keeps the screen awake by itself; against the computer sleeping, a setting in your system's power management helps.
What does Juqed Web cost?
You test Juqed Web free for three hours, with every feature and no payment details – counted only while music is playing. To work without limits there is Juqed Gold, available by the week, the month or the year and cancellable at any time with no notice period. Current amounts and all the details are under Pricing and refunds.
What languages is Juqed Web available in?
Seven: German, English, Spanish, Italian, Danish, Dutch and French. Juqed Web starts in your browser's language; you can change it at any time in the page footer or in your account. The guest page counts separately: it follows each guest's own browser and also speaks Japanese.
Every feature, explained on its own.
